Accelerator supports teenage pioneers

A new startup accelerator in America is striving to empower innovative teenagers to kickstart their own ventures.

The Tardigrade Group is offering technical, financial and legal support to entrepreneurial teenagers trying to advance their startup ambitions.

“Our mission is to develop or aid in the development of 12 teenage run startups and to host 35 events worldwide by 2020. We stand to take on teenage run startups and guide them through the process of developing their idea and passion into a public brand,” the Tardigrade Group’s website states.

And this month the company also launched a new series on Medium – called Teen Titans – which will publish interviews showcasing the work of pioneering startups.
